Luke 13:1-9

Repent or Perish

13At that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2He asked them, Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans?
3No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on themdo you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did.

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

6 Then he told this parable: A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7So he said to the gardener, See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?
8He replied, Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig round it and put manure on it.
9If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.
